DESCRIBE ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS AS AN ARTIST.
PROBABLY WHEN I TAUGHT MY FIRST CLASS. THE ENTHUSIASM OF MY STUDENTS IS CATCHING AND THE JOY SHOWN OVER COMPLETING THEIR FIRST PROJECT BRINGS ME A GREAT DEAL OF JOY.
WHAT INSPIRES OR MOTIVATES YOUR WORK CURRENTLY?
CURRENTLY I'M FINDING A LOT OF INSPIRATION IN MOVEMENT AND TEXTURE WITHIN 2 DIMENSIONAL PIECES.
WHAT ARTISTS OR PEOPLE HAVE INFLUENCED YOUR PRACTICE?
KIYOSHI MINO, STEPHANIE METZ AND RICHARD HANNA.
"Abstract Study"
AT THIS MOMENT WITH COVID-19, HOW CAN THE ARTS HELP?
ART IS THE PERFECT COPING MECHANISM FOR UNCERTAINTY.
HOW HAS THIS SITUATION HIT YOUR CRAFT AND HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
FINDING SUPPLIES HAS BECOME DIFFICULT SINCE SO MANY PLACES ARE CLOSED & I'M NOT SURE THERE'S ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.
WHAT COULD HELP RIGHT NOW WOULD BE EITHER CONTACTING ARTISTS FOR COMMISSIONS, OR SIMPLY SHARE OUR WEBSITES WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND ON FACEBOOK.
"Crane"
POST COVID-19, WHAT DO YOU HOPE CHANGES IN SEQUIM? WHAT ROLE DO YOU THINK THE ARTS MIGHT PLAY TO SUPPORT OUR SEQUIM?
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL EMERGE FROM THIS WITH MORE TOLERANCE FOR OTHERS AS WELL AS PLACING A HIGHER PRIORITY ON FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY.
